The Geospatial Web

Call for Papers

THE GEOSPATIAL WEB - How Geo-Browsers, Social Software
and the Web 2.0 are Shaping the Network Society

http://geoweb.know-center.at/

You are cordially invited to submit chapters for an upcoming book on the Geospatial Web, published by Springer London in the Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing Series. By integrating cartographic data with geo-tagged knowledge repositories, the emerging Geospatial Web will revolutionize the production, distribution and consumption of media products. This edited volume will bring together high quality contributions on the technical foundations of the Geospatial Web, present information services and collaborative environments built on top of geo-browsers such as Google Earth and NASA World Wind, and investigate the economic and societal impacts of such knowledge-intensive applications. A
particular focus of the book is the integration of geospatial and semantic technology, for example to extract geospatial context from unstructured textual resources.
